A group of students from Cambridge University, currently on tour with 'Hands on Science' (CHAOS) visited Ross Market on Wednesday last. The volunteer group of graduates and under graduates, aged between 18 and 25 visited, giving practical science demonstrations to large groups of very interested children and their parents. The very wet weather did nothing to deter young visitors and the Market House was packed.

In charge of a group demonstrating bridge building was graduate, Selina Hawkins and student, Ying Chow. The young scientists showed how building an arch type bridge strong enough to walk over is easy, as Olivia Ennis proves, watched by sister Georgia and mum, Michelle.

A woman in Brookend Street, Ross-on-Wye on Sunday, 15th July and police are investigating. The incident occurred outside the 'Best Kebab House' , where the woman, in her 20s, was assaulted and knocked to the floor by a man in the early hours of the morning. She was taken to hospital with a suspected broken nose and other facial injuries.

Any witnesses to the assault should contact PC Andrea Morris at Ross-on-Wye Police Station on 08457 444888 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
